Compass Point Project - Art Competition

To mark the significance of the Compass Point Project to save the Storm Tower, we’re running an art competition that’s open to all ages, across the community and educational settings.

The aim is to capture this historical moment through the community’s eyes, with winning entries forming part the Compass Point Exhibition at the end of the year.

There is no better way to celebrate the spirit of our beloved Pepper Pot than through the eyes of the community it belongs to!

make you feel"
